Kids are a manifestation of everything they have learned and have come to know. If something is on their mind, no doubt they will say it. This and other things make not liking someone else's kids really easy. For example, my brother's girlfriend's kids said out loud to each other, "I think he's to fat to swim!" even though I was in the pool doing laps, they took the prejudice of their parents, teachers, and peers and reflected it back onto me.

They don't mean what they say or do sometimes, but it's the fact they still don't know right from wrong entirely that makes it so frustrating. You can't get mad at them cause they don't know better, and even if they did, they're kids, you can't do shit to them.

Its like one time my bro was dating a different girl that had kids and the kid pulled my Macbook Pro off the counter (mind you this thing is brand spanking new) by the charger while my iPhone 4S was on top of it, and almost caused over $2000 in property damage cause he felt like pulling on shit. Nothing was broken, but at the time I was ready to kill. Had he been my age I would've let loose.

To be direct, because parents don't bother raising them anymore. I'm only 28, but I'm already seeing the majority of kids I run into treating their parents / others with such blatant disrespect that I sometimes have to literally pick up my jaw. I don't *hate* kids, I vehemently dislike the vast majority of them.

This question also needs an age group - if you're training to teach Kindergarten, you probably have the cute sort of kids. If you're training to teach, say, 8th grade, then more power to ya.

i don't like babies because they are noisy one of my ears is already dysfunctional ( tinnitus ftw! ) so i'd like to keep the other ear fully functional. That said i want kids and i want them to be raised just like me, though some will argue that it is a bad idea because my parents never told me " you can't do that or you are not allowed to do that " instead it was " we would rather you don't do that but if you do its your own fucking fault if you get hurt. " which to me is a totally reasonable way to raise a kid.

I am a teacher in training and honestly wtf is wrong with people saying such bad stuff about children. :O

So you're going to be dealing with young children every day, of course you're not going to have an issue with them. Also, I will add that children act VERY differently at School then at Home or when they're with their parents.

My school thought I was a sweet, well mannered young man, yet at home I was hell because my mother was a useless bitch who left me to earn enough money (at the age of 13) to pay for my own, and my brother school meals. Not fishing for pity, or making extreme examples, just trying to show what you see in training, and what they're really like are two different matters.

Also; you're still in training. I doubt you'd be thinking the exact same way in 6 - 9 months.

Doesn't mean i'll accept my kids talking or acting the same way to their mother.

Heck, when I have kids, if my kid(s) even thinks of talking to their mother, the way I did, they'll still feel the pain from the slap, for the rest of their life. (Not literally...)

My main issue with kids, is the fact that most parents these days have no control over them. Many of the parents these days grew up in an era, where there was little domestic control, because they grew up in a time where smacking a naughty child was wrong.

Many young mothers (and fathers) know very little about responsibility, so don't know what to do when their own child misbehaves. Kids are going to mess around, everyone expects it, everyone has a tolerance to it, but what I hate is when a child is being a rude little gobby shit in the supermarket, running around, pulling stuff over and causing a problem for other people.

The sheer amount of times I've wanted to punch the parent(s) and the child to the ground are uncountable. I'm a fairly patient person, but more and more young parents have no control, and instill no discipline in their children. People change, but for the most part, children become what their parents allow them to become.

Most parents let their kids become an unruly mess and that sticks for a major part of the childs developing life. That then becomes part of who they are, until one day they fuck with the wrong guy, get stabbed and we all weep as to why an innocent young man was stabbed or died, in a tragic road collision that was their own fault because of drink driving.

I'm making large genealistions, but I've seen enough of it already in my life. I matured very fast as a young boy, because of my domestic issues, so I saw the young people around me from a very adult perspective. I had little chance to escape that, so I was always looking at what the kids were doing, and I look at all of them now, and I see what they became because of it.

I don't therefor, hate the kids, I hate the parents. When I have kids, I won't hate them, and I don't hate the idea of having kids, because I know i'm not going to raise some arrogant, rude asshole, yet I do know that most young parents today will do nothing but that!

TL;DR: I hate the parents of young children, for their lack of control.

I thought thats currently what most nations are going through due to the "baby boom" after the 2nd world war?

In Denmark they are beginning to talk about cutting down on the student benefits that you get in Denmark during your education, and funnel the money into elder care because we simply have too many elders compared to young people who can work, which sucks ballsacks since with school and shit i don't have time for even a part time job and if the cut gets through i will only just be able to my rent. Of course some would say i just need to find a smaller place with less rent but i already live in a 24 square meter apartment where half of the fucking apartment is the toilet. I'd die from claustrophobia if i were to live smaller than that :<
